As a doting grandmother, I spend as much time as possible with my two boys. When they were younger, we would snuggle up and Nana would tell them stories. Sometimes they would name a topic and I would go from there. These are a few of their favorites. I live in a small town in Arkansas and love the closeness we share with family and friends. I lost my husband in 1995 and was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001 and had several chemo and radiation treatments. I am now almost 8 years into my diagnosis and have been given an "all clear" from my oncologist. The support I received from family and friends during these diffi cult times was priceless. Life is good.

Cancer is a very frightening and mysterious disease from which children are often sheltered because parents are uncertain as to how to deal with it. This book draws upon real life episodes between a grandmother and her granddaughter to help children better understand what happens when family members are afflicted with cancer. The message it conveys is one of hope, love, and caring. Colleen Buckley resides in New Jersey with her husband. She has two married children and two grandchildren; she has been a nurse for over 25 years. Cancer is no stranger to Colleen, who has lost her father, her grandmother, and two of her sister-in-laws to this disease. Her husband, mother, and another sister-in-law are cancer survivors. Colleen's inspiration for this book has been her sister, Kathy's, ongoing fight with ovarian cancer. Colleen is currently working on a second children's book about cancer. Kim Sponaugle has illustrated "The Adventures of Beatrice" books and the "Anna Banana" and "Corey's Story" series for young readers. She resides in Salem County, NJ with her husband Jerry, son Josh and feisty little westie, Casey.

Samantha O'Connor knows life can be short. She has known that since she was eleven years old. That's when her beloved Nana died from breast cancer. And as a nurse in Denver General's busy Emergency Department she sees people get a wake up call every day. On Halloween, she gets her own wake up call when she has a horrible car accident and ends up back in the ER dressed as Goldilocks. While recovering at her parents' house, she finds an old box of presents from Nana. It has her huge old teddy bear, a charm bracelet, her blue haired Flatsy doll, and a little black patent leather purse in it. She also finds a letter from Nana written just before she died and a caricature of herself as "Nana's Girl." This reminds Sam of who she really is. Using that as her motivation, she creates a To Do List for her life. Nana's Girl is for all who have lost someone they loved dearly, especially those who have lost someone to breast cancer. Nana never got any treatment for her breast cancer. I can only guess how she must have suffered. She never told anyone. I am sure she didn't want anyone to worry. And I am sure she didn't want to go to the hospital. She always said she hated them. She thought people died there. I don't know if treatment would have helped Nana then. That was a different time. I do know that it does help many now. It is my hope to pevent even one more person from suffering. Although Nana's Girl stems from my Nana, the story, characters and places are fictional. It was too personal to tell otherwise, and I would never have finished with any dry pages. All profits from sale of Nana's Girl will be donated to The Breast Cancer Foundation at www.bcrfcure.org in loving memory of Katherine Mahan.
